Me i/ TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it no um I, Jonx Ancocx Jones, of aluminumhines, in the some; of Yorlr, and- Kingdom of Great Britain, have invented certain new and us'cful Improvements in the Manufacture of Non-Conducting Sub stances-forlmpeding the Passage of Host, of which imprm'cmeilts I'hcreby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description, I I I: v

' The said inventiontousists in the manufacture of non-conducting substances by the use of peat, turf, bog,

, or other similar accumulstions of vegetable mntte'r', as well as 'silt, a deposit part vegetable, part earthy, found in various situations, amongst which I may mention the neighborhoodof the Tees, where it exists under the top clay, such substances being used, either alonc or'i'u combination with'othcr' substances, in the-manufacture of a non-conducting medium for the purpose of wliolly or partially impeding the'passage of caloric or heat, and as covering for steam and water pipes, boilers, heaters,- for lining icc-housos,'wine -ccllnrs, sud other buildings, and v In practically carrying out my invention, .1 proceed as follows: If the substancebe intended to-ha applied in a plastic state, I take pent, turf,'bo';, or other similarvegetnbl'e or partly vegetable and partly earthyntatter,

such, for example, as silt/j or that deposit, part earthy and part vegetable, which. in some districts is found I next to and underneath the pest, and use such matter either alone or in conjunction with Portland or Romancement, oxide of iron, lime, sand, coir. hair, gypsum or sulphate of lime, and minornl oil, such, for example, as

that distilled from shale, and mix thcmwell together by friction, adding suflicient water or other suitable liquid as is necessary to reduce the mass to s plastic eomposi'tiont' :This composition is to he used for the purpose of preventiag, or partially preventing, the radiation-or passage of calorie or heat. For 'this purposeI 'apply'it to steam pipes, water pipes, air pipes, boilers, heating vessels, buildings, and generally to all purposes where the impeding of the passage of best is required. I also use it as a plastic covering or.protective coatihg for metallic sud other surfaces.

The t'ollowing proportions of ingredients, when peat, turf, bog, or silt is used, in combination with other i substances, I have found to give a good result: Peat, if, bo silt, or a mixture of them in any desired pro-.

portion, one hundred pounds; Roman or Portland cement, twenty pounds; oxide of iron, fifteen pounds; lime,

ten pounds; sand ten pounds; cow hair,-four-ponuds; gyp' sum or MIMMHTO pounds; mineral o four pounds.

If preferred, the whole of the above ingredients, after the words peat, turf, bog, or silt," may be omitted,

or any one of theingr'edients may he omi-ttech or the relative proportion of each ingredient may be varied, or other ingredients added, as may be desired, the essential feature of my invention being the use of cat, turf,

bo git, or similar matters, such as and charcoal dust, for the purpose specified.-

This composition, when used in a plastic .tste, may be applied by hand orby a trowel, in one or more coats,

in conjunction, with wood or otherwise, according to the nature of. the material or of the surface to which it .il'

to be applied. Ha bands may also be used to facilitate the putting on of the composition or .mnterial to pipes 3 and in order to render sud-h substance.

In' some caseaI propose-to give stubllity to the non-conducting coating by covering the same with iron wire petting, alvaniaed or'not, or wire-1vork of other metals, thereby preventing any disintegration of the composia tion from the action olthe weather or other causes, and I chat the whole with fur, paint, or similar material. In licuof'lpply'ing peat, turf, hog, or silt" in a plastic state, as hereinbefore described, it may be hay bdmls lncombustible they may bc'snturated in lime and'wster or other calcareous used for certain purposes, either alone or in combination with the other ingredients hereinbefore mentioned, in 4 the form of ree tangularor other shaped cakes, blocks, or bricks. These cakes, blocks, or bricks will be found useful for lining or building wine-cellurm ice-houses, null other buildings or constructions wherethc non condneting property of thc uin'tcrial will be found nseful and desirablef Solid blocks or cakesof the beforemeutloired zm'n'rerinl, of huy shape or size, with or irithout admixture with the other'ingredients hereinbei'ore minimise, may alsobe used foicorerlng cylindersboilers, lieaters'Qpipes, apdyessels, for the purposes specified- Claims. 1. The application and use, for the purpose of impeding the pa ssage of heat or caloric, of-peat, turf, bog,

Silt, or other similar nc'cumulations of vegetable, or partly vegetable and partly earthy-matter, either alone or in combination with other ingredients, substantially us'herei-nbefore 2. The moulding of the said material or composition into cakes of the'smne in that fdrm, for the phrpose specified.

described. and bricks, and the suhseq'uent'npplieation In testimony whereofI have signed my name 'to this speeification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
